Elesh Parunjanwala has hit back at fiance Rakhi Sawant for her statements about his financial instability and her claim that he wanted to move to Toronto post-marriage.
He clarified: "Honestly, I never told her to settle in Toronto. She can always travel back and forth. What is wrong if I suggested that when we have a baby, he/she should be born in Toronto? I have my parents there and they would be a support system to my family. Is this wrong?"
About Rakhi's accusation that he isn't financially unstable, he said, "What does she mean by saying that I don't have money? That is all so stupid and unnecessary. I am studying and have decided not to take money from my parents. I want to be an independent person. Am I doing something bad? I am shocked by the allegations." He added, "Anybody else in my place would have sunk into depression. Had it not been for the support of my family, I do not know what would have happened to me. I do realise people have their own reasons to try to make others feel small and bad in the eyes of the public, so that they can gain sympathy. However, I am hurt. The controversy and the humiliation that I have been put through are tremendous."
